Saturday: Mill replaced and finished up the 21ft log that has been sitting on the tracks for a month.
Sunday: Took the day off, Was supposed to get started first thing monday morning.
Monday: Help fell through. Ended up getting a sitter so me and my wife could go out. We were able to get the 5 or 6 logs cut into trailer deck lumber.
Tuesday: Did some work around the shop and watched the TV Coverage of the President being sworn in.
Wednesday: Started edging a bunch of slabs that hadn't been processed. Made a decent stack of lumber out of wood that my dad wanted to throw into a pile and burn to get out of the way.Thursday: Went to work on some large quartered logs that had made their way to the pile over the past few months.
A few people saw the sign and headed up to the shop to check it out. We got an order for some trailer decking that were cutting tomorrow. If all goes well, we'll have enough 16ft White Oak to fill that order and handle a few more trailer decks that we've been asked about.
Not terribly excited about the mill today. Had one call with the dealer. For whatever reason, the new mill has been throwing blades off the front when cutting. Supposedly they are getting hot, as it happens an hour or so into heavy cutting. When they get hot, they stretch, get loose, and come off the wheels. Or so i'm told.
Trying a couple things and hopefully we'll be able to keep the blades on. I've got help scheduled to be out here at 8am tomorrow, so hopefully that will pan out.
